Woman with 2 wombs delivers twin daughters

A Michigan woman with two wombs has given birth to twin daughters - one from each uterus. Sarah Reinfelder's two healthy babies were delivered seven weeks premature on Thursday by Caesarean section at Marquette General Hospital in the Upper Peninsula.

The 21-year-old Sault Ste. Marie woman has a condition known as uterus didelphys, and doctors say such twin births are rare. The uteri are different sizes, with the larger twin born from the larger uterus.
